If Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino wrote a caper movie, it might look something like '4 Kids Walk Into A Bank' by Matthew Rosenberg with art by Tyler Boss.
Paige lives with her widowed father. She has three oddball friends. Paige and her friends like to play D&D and use their imaginations. When Paige's father is visited by a group of bumbling idiot criminals, she wants to know what her father has to do with any of them. When the kids find out they are going to rob a bank, they decide to foil the bad guys with their own plan, which you can guess by the title of the book.
These characters are ones I would have loved to hang out with when I was that age, with the bullying they receive and their weird play and banter. I loved the names of the streets and other background things. The art was so fitting for the vibe of this book. I absolutely loved it!

The first half was a little repetitive but the actual robbing of the bank was great.

This isn't normally the kind of book I'd pick up but I saw a review of the series a while back that won me over. It's ambiguous what year it is and the "realness" of the world and its consequences are perfectly dialed in for the story they want to tell.
This really held my attention and the humor kept it all together. This wouldn't have worked at all if it was told seriously.

This was a great complete story that looks at family, friends, and what you do for both of them in a whole new light.
